Summary/Abstract: Ten years ago the studies on the political parties’ systems and other related issues have been relatively inexistent in Romania. Now they have become a normal and important subject of the local analysts. After fourteen years and four elections the period of the “childish of democracy” has finished. Most of these studies use the effective number of the political parties as an analyzing method, and the “N” factor became usual for comparing the results. The author’s conclusion is that, after an initial uncertain period, the Romanian political parties’ system has improved its evolution, and now it is going to be stabilized in a configuration of one dominant party. The final verdict should be deferred until the 2004 parliamentary elections. After that moment will see whether the new political organization confirms or not this political system with a dominant party.
